It’s very dated, with both bad clothes and bad sound. But unmistakable Cohen. I’ve been hesistant to watch it because it’s not very pretty with the clothes and pretty cheap, though well thought out, lighting. But it pays to see it – this is a central film in one’s Cohen library with the typically stupid characters, unnecessary weird details and a really dark story. The private detective drives a Beetle (remember Big Lebowski) and Frances McDormand is young. It’s weird and good, but requires a little enthusiasm.
